2011 GSDAA Finalist: Using LabVIEW, PXI, and cRIO to Rapidly Develop Orion Structural Test Systems

2011 Validation Test Finalist

Using LabVIEW, PXI, and cRIO to Rapidly Develop Orion Structural Test Systems

Author: Dave Baker, G Systems

Challenge: NASA and Lockheed Martin engineers needed three test systems designed and delivered in a six month timeframe for performing structural tests on the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle.  Broad engineering skill sets including mechanical, electrical, and software design were required for system development.

Solution: G Systems used concurrent development and leveraged off-the-shelf National Instruments hardware and software tools to deliver all three systems within the short delivery time frame.  LabVIEW is used extensively in all three systems as well as an array of PXI, SCXI, and cRIO hardware.
